CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted November 30, 2020 On 25/08/2020 at 22:00, CoffinLodger said: Fans of the tv show Prisoner Cell Block H might be interested to know that the actress Betty Bobbit, who played the character Judy Bryant for most of its run, is not doing so well and may not have long to go. Watch this space! I am very sad to say that for once my prediction was correct. This is one time I wish I had been wrong. The legendary actress Betty Bobbit has died of a stroke at 81.She starred in more episodes of Prisoner Cell Block H than any other actor except Elspeth Ballantyne and by all accounts was a really lovely lady.R.I.P and condolences to all her friends and famliy , and to all Prisoner fans like me who I know will be devastated at this sad news. Biggest loss to the show since Sheila Florance aka Lizzie Birdsworth in my opinion. https://www.starobserver.com.au/artsentertainment/prisoners-betty-bobbitt-dies/198704 https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/163353-grundy/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
